Slush 2017 Opening Show – A Call For Solvers
Episode details
Episode description
The main theme of Slush 2017 discussed how entrepreneurship can solve the biggest problems of our world – even though it might sound weird at first. After the teaser video had set the phobic mood, it was time to blend utopia into the mixture. Whereas event design reflects phobia in deadly orange and utopia with energetic pink, the opening show gave voice to these abstract elements.
